CSX Teams with Action for Healthy Kids to Promote Healthy Lifestyles


CSX corporate culture emphasizes the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle. While the company encourages its employees to lead healthy lives, it also seeks to improve the health of people around the nation. To meet this goal, CSX has renewed its partnership with Action for Healthy Kids, a nonprofit organization that works in schools to teach children and adolescents about healthy eating and motivate them to become more physically active.

For the 2015-16 school year, CSX will make up to 300 Every Kid Healthy Grants available through Action for Healthy Kids. These grants will fund initiatives at local schools to create healthier environments and physical activity programs. Throughout the year, CSX also sends employees to local schools to spearhead its Get in the Action events, which aim to get kids moving.

For employees, CSX has launched a Healthy Wage Program, which inspires individuals to create weight-loss teams and motivate each other to achieve health goals. Certain CSX offices also host farmer’s markets to allow employees to purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables.
